Hey Pandas, What Are Some Relationship Myths You Know? (Closed)

If he loves you, he'll ask you what you need.

yep, not telepathic. Also, do not assume to know what I need. I appreciate gestures of kindness and care but rather ask what I want, or let me ask directly. No need to keep giving me things I do not want (e.g. too much food, alcohol etc. I do not want it).

Hahahaa. "We love you both equally, but you as an elder sister are in charge with taking care of your younger brother, you are responsible for everything he does/ doesn't do. And you will be punished too for his mistakes because he's too young for punishment. No, we don't care that you are only 9 years old."

I always let my children know I loved the one with the cleaner room more ;)

Ah, I learned this long ago. My brother will always be their golden child, he literally gets away with everything

My family have never made a secret of this. We all know that we are loved, but we know where we stand. It's not unusual to hear things like 'I love you, but I don't like you', 'that's why you're mammy's favourite', and sometimes straight-up asking, 'Which of us is you favourite auntie?' .

needed this

This one needs more upvotes

yep, that's my mom. Guilttripper.

I do all of that and last time I checked I'm a male

My current partner overthinks things to death but refuses to talk about what's bothering her, is a total slob, and watches comedies. So yeah this is BS.

HAH

There are plenty more fish in the sea. You know what else is in the sea? Garbage. Lots and lots of garbage.

my bf is quite outgoing while i'm an introvert. so that's a opposite.. but we have so much more in common :D it needs a good mix of both i think

Passion is like a drug. It leaves you chasing that high and blinds you to reality, so you don't even realise things are getting bad, or you put up with the bad hoping that the the next "hit" will make it all worth it.

passion with nothing else is perfectly fine for a one or two night stand.

A healthy relationship need to have enough similarities but enough differences between the two in the relationship

Oh, maybe ‘cause the Bible says don’t let the sun go down on your anger? I think it’s supposed to mean “work to resolve the problem so that you don’t see them tomorrow and brush it under the rug”

I agree with this one. If you go to bed angry the fight carries on the next day. Also, never respond to an issue with the silent treatment. If you dn't know what to say, then say "I am thinking about what you said and trying to understand it clearly" rather than just go silent. I think if you have a fight, it is generally about one or two things: (a) fear... e.g. the other partner is spending recklessly and you fear bankruptcy, or you think your partner is cheating or wants to leave you, or, (b) shows of disrespect... e.g. peeing on the toilet seat, leaving the seat up, leaving dirty dishes in the sink, etc.

But once again, only part of the prophecy heard. But fear not, for I have heard the ending, 'There will come another, one with a power the Ranger knows not, and the 2 shall join, for they are each the missing part of a whole'.

For some, yes. It’s a love language in itself.

WHAAT??? Who says this?? That is the stupidest and weirdest thing I've heard in awhile...guess it goes along with crossing your legs and keeping your knees together

I would have sat on the desk extra, just in case.

Never heard this one...lol

I think there is, but you don’t always find them. There are definitely a few people, though

I think everyone has dozens of potential partners out there and it's really about effort.

yep. Compromise and respect are more important.

this needs to be way higher !

Opposites attract. Opposites will usually kill each other.

For myself,this is absolutely spot on

This isn't a myth, you can work through it, as long as you are respectful. I agree with this one. If you go to bed angry the fight carries on the next day. Also, never respond to an issue with the silent treatment. If you dn't know what to say, then say "I am thinking about what you said and trying to understand it clearly" rather than just go silent.

nah it's not true, it's accidental. No such thing as free will.
